#** Replace the god object WikiPage with a value object: PageIdentity https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208776

#* New library / MediaWiki feature: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Shellbox - updates Shell/ShellCommand classes to let you define the inputs and outputs for shell commands, and then execute those shell commands over a web service to limit the effect of vulnerabilities in external tools.
#* Older RfCs accepted:
